An early review for Mariah Carey's new album has appeared on USA Today website. Melissa Ruggieri writes:
"Even 35 years into a career that's earned her a list of accolades, including five Grammy Awards, a spot in the Songwriters Hall of Fame and a Video Vanguard Award from MTV, Carey, 56, hasn’t abandoned artistic growth."
She also identifies her four choices as the best songs from the album:
Type Dangerous
"Over a springy funk backbeat, Carey exudes R&B sass... does so unapologetically... Carey deserves a song of the year Grammy for managing to rhyme 'hoes' with 'rigamarole.'
I Won’t Allow It
"Carey has always been masterful at blending R&B, pop, soul and a flirty delivery... Stocked with swirling synths and a driving bass line, the song sounds custom made for roller rinks in the ‘70s, but is equally irresistible today."
My Love
"Despite her bona fides as a songwriter, Carey also possesses a flair for a well-chosen cover... she deftly handles “My Love,” the 1973 swooner from Paul McCartney & Wings written for McCartney’s soulmate, Linda... when the synths and organic guitar slowly disappear in a wake of strings, Carey’s layered, crystalline voice sparkles."
Here For it All
As the sweetly melodic ballad tapers, a gentle beat kicks in and Carey vocalizes words of religious praise over a syncopated coda for the last two minutes, her five-octave voice punctuating her patented melismatic style."
